A Tiger's Tale

Author's Note:  I had to find a topic to write about and it came to me, why don't I write about my favorite animal in the world.
Roar! Roar! That is the sound that a wild cat makes. One of the cats in the cat family is a tiger. Some people think differently, they think that all tigers are different; it doesn’t matter if the tigers are ugly or beautiful. Everyone has their favorite and so do I. All tigers are the same, but there are many different types of tigers, such as Bengal, Siberian, Indochinese, South Chinese, Sumatran, Malayan, Caspian, Javan and Bali.  Personally my two favorite types of tigers would have to be the Bengal and Siberian tigers because they are beautiful. Most tigers are beautiful but there’s just something about Bengal and Siberian tigers!

One really interesting fact to me is that of the tigers I named above, the last three are extinct, one is extinct in the wild, and the rest are endangered. Another interesting fact that I thought was weird but yet cool was that all tigers have a lifespan of 10-15 years. Also I thought this was a pretty cool fact that a male Siberian tiger and a male Sumatran tiger are way different in weight than each other. But yet the females for both of them are both very similar.

The Diet of all tigers is the same; they mainly eat ambar deer, wild pigs, water buffalo and antelope. Tigers are also known to hunt sloth bears, dogs, leopards, crocodiles and pythons as well as monkeys and hares. Old and injured tigers have been known to attack humans and domestic cattle.

Over all, tigers are alike in many different ways but then again tigers are different in many different ways. My point is is that no matter what type of tigers they are they are all the same in many different ways.

   

The Furry Animal From Down Under

Author's Note:  Everyone thinks that koala bears are the cutest and sweetest little animals in the world, I had to do something about that because koala bears are not the sweetest animals. I choice to write about this because koala bears are not the sweetest and cutest little animal in the world.
Soft, thick and pleasant to touch, what animal am I thinking of? If you said a Koala Bear you are absolutely correct. So many people think that Koala Bears are the sweetest little animals on earth, but I would have to disagree because they probably aren’t around humans that much unless they are in a zoo. So how do you know what a wild koala bear is going to do to a human?! Truth be told they are not the sweetest animals on the earth but they are not the meanest animal on earth.    

Koala Bears spend all day sleeping, they like sleeping in the fork of the tree. They start to move around just when the sun sets. Once the sun is down and it is nighttime you can hear the koalas “barking” aggressively at other koalas.

The population of koala bears is dropping as we are talking; presently up to 4,000 koalas are being killed each year by cats and dogs. You can find koala bears mostly in Eastern and Southern Australia. Also you can find them on coastal islands and tall eucalypt forests to low woodlands inland. You will never find a koala bear in a rainforest though.

Koala seldom drinks water obtaining it from the eucalyptus leaves, which are 50% consisting of water. Although, they can drink water if due to drought the leaves water content is reduced. Each koala eats 200 to 500 grams of leaves per day. Koalas have a slow metabolic rate due to their high-fiber, low nutrient diet. Because they store little or no fat, koalas must adopt strategies that conserve energy. Sleeping is one of them.
Koala Bears to me can seem like they are nice and you think that you can cuddle up with them. But honestly koala bears can be very aggressive and dangerous.

My shoes amazing adventure

Author’s Note: I got a really nice pair of boots for Christmas and now I want to write about them.

WHOOSH WHOOSH you could hear as I was sliding around in the back of the truck. I am a pair of shoes that just got ordered off of a catalog. I am so excited, this if my first time being out of the shoe factory, I haven’t been out of the factory ever… maybe because it is the fact that I just got made and I was just put up on the shelves.

I didn’t like how I had to be put in a box but I guess that’s how it had to be because if I wasn’t in the box I won’t be a surprise for her, after all I am one of her Christmas gifts. I can’t wait to get out of these boxes and get on her feet!

Right when I got there I was put under the tree with a lot of other gifts. I could tell because as I was sleeping during the middle of the night I could hear all the other gifts talking about who they are going to and who will be roommates and who will be seeing a lot of each other. Right when I heard all the people say Brittany I was like well I guess that I won’t be having a lot of roommates, maybe one or two at the most.

The night was over and it was Christmas morning no one was up yet except the other gifts, they were blabbing away. Finally someone woke up and opened their door. Then after a while more people came out I could feel the anticipation rising. I knew that I was going to get unwrapped soon.

Suddenly I hear someone say “ok everyone; take a seat we are going to unwrap gifts now. I was so excited mostly because I knew I was in the front and I was going to get picked first. I could feel someone lifting me up and set me down on something. As I heard the wrapping paper getting teared apart, I was so excited. She finally opened me up and screamed yes as loud as she could!! I was so happy that she liked me.

From this day on I have been loving life; I mean I have a lot of roommates since Brittany and Becca share a room. Also because she wears me like every day!! I wish that all of my friends could see me now and see that I am in a good environment.

Leonard

 Author's Note: Honestly I think that looking up old computers are so funny, what do you think about old computers?

Leonard year born: 1800’s A.D.

I love looking up old computers and making fun of all the different types that I see. If I were a owner of an old computer I would be so happy because every day I would come home and be smiling because I would be able to see my old computer. I don’t know about you but I love seeing old computers in fact here is my old computer Leonard. I love it because it is just so funny.

Dream Vacation

Author's Note: I was so excited for winter break so I decided to make a short story about how  I think that it would be like.
Beeeeeeep! The school bell finally rang; it was at last winter break. The best time of the winter because of three things:

1)    You get to spend time with friends and family.

2)    You don’t have to go to school for a week or so.

3)    You get presents and a 24 pound turkey.

I love when vacation comes around; vacation to me is like a diabetic person’s sugar, I need to have it. Vacation is a great chance to catch up on the things you missed or need to get done… such as for me it would be getting more sleep, playing more basketball and hanging out with friends and family more often. I know that’s why I love winter break and all vacations, but why do you?
